Keep up to date with all that is happening with Smallman and all of our no-good bands. As well, we’ll be running exclusive giveaways for the mailing list (pieces of carpet, old fax machines ... you know, “cool stuff”), so sign up now to be part of the magic.

Both Propagandhi and Sights & Sounds made it on to a number of Top 10 Lists.

Here is the full listing of things we just happened to stumble across. Highlights include Propagandhi’s cover choice as year end band of the year for Exclaim; Kent Monkman’s album artwork on Supporting Caste being chosen as one of the best album covers of the year; and Paste Magazine’s Top 100 band names including Propagandhi. (*Disclaimer: this list is not an endorsement of any of these sites by anyone including my mother or the office cat, Dr. Puddles. Although, Dr. Puddles has been known to endorse things behind our backs - eucalyptus massage oil? Really? Come on, Dr. P…).

One of our personal favourites will be releasing his latest album with Smallman in 2010.

Ooooh. First big announcement of 2010. It’s not really a secret as we’ve been working on this album for the past 10 months already but it is now finally done and we’ve got a release date set. So we can officially announce that Greg Macpherson will be releasing his latest full length - Mr. Invitation - with Smallman on March 30, 2010. For those who don’t know Greg, he’s a fantastic singer/songwriter that falls somewhere between Steve Earle, Hayden, Billy Bragg and The Weakerthans.

The new album contains 10 new tracks goes across the spectrum musically and lyrically. We’ll have some music to listen to shortly, as well as some upcoming tourdates (including a hometown CD release show in April) and some info on pre-orders. For now, the tracklisting will hopefully suffice:
1. First Class
2. Outside Edge
3. Smoke Ring
4. Mr. Invitation
5. Travelling Style
6. Backflow
7. Broken Dreams
8. Big Skies
9. West End
10. Visitor
